YOU

You

Irreplaceable you

 I have looked

For someone the same

But all I found was

A hole where your heart

Once inhabited me made me

Full and satisfied like never before 

You. 

LOST

We did not end well - 

And though I still love you

(That will never change)

My heart cries for you nightly

I grasp my heart at the moon

I stare to the sky

Hoping for some miracle

No miracle came

I still cry without you, sad

Woman lost inside a dream

ANN B.

 Herself far imperceptible retracts ships

With an interpretation of sleepy passing hunger

Dying sits and climbs for one too again

Her love of God has caused her to wrestle angels

Piercing has caused her to long for the ending

As unknown, the people cheer

CIRCLES

 When her existing night face

Perhaps naked unwindings

And its juicy thick perfume

They speak of her praise and beauty

Walks within a thousand flaming circles

EDEN

 The call was uncommonly great

After so may clustered

Disjointed debates

Eden faces the white water

Waiting for him

Her soul coming forth

To give her needed lightning

To give her praise and beauty

MINE

 Standing alone in front of the patisserie

Seeing you walk towards me

Our eyes meet our steps in time

You're the one

You'll always be mine

BOOK GIVEAWAY COMING UP!

STARS

 I want to follow the stars

Up to heaven 

To rest in your arms

One more time 

POEMS

 Don't give me the poems

With beauty and light

They mean nothing to me

Give me the poems 

With darkness and despair

That set my soul free

FIGHTER

 Like a fighter in the ring

I know to keep standing

I know to keep holding on

No matter the enemy

If I am with you in the end

It was all worthwhile

LITTLE ONE

 What happened, little one?

Ragged clothes and a tear-stained face

Bags already packed

Looking for a way out?

What did they say, little one?

They told you that you're worthless

Never saw the best in you

In this dilapidated town?

You're gonna make it,

Little one

BROKEN MIRROR

 Broken mirror

Shattered dreams

Nothing about you

Was as real as it seemed

Laughing in the rain

Crying on the floor

I want to hear your voice again

But what for?

A FACE WITHOUT A MASK

 Looking out my window

At the cold pavement below

People hurrying this way and that

To them I am invisible

Literally invisible

A face without a mask

HAMMER AND NAILS

 The more I know you

The less I understand

Your bright shiny love

I want to push you away

But then I remembered 

How long I waited

For this moment

Hammer and nails

We'll keep fixing this one

Until it works

FLAWS

 It's hard 

To look in the mirror

And see the flaws

We complain about 

In others

QUIETLY

 I will not go quietly

In the midst of this insanity

Full of insecurity

Looking for the brevity

In this  inesxplicability

KNOWING WHAT I KNOW

 Knowing what I know now

I would stay away from the apathy

Knowing what I know now

I would stop breaking my own heart

Knowing what I know now

It's too damn late

THE MIDDLE

 Let's start again

Laughing, forgiving

I miss that

Missing you

How I looked in your eyes

Tiredness and age 

Fade away

We could be young again

We could be in love again

Instead of this distance

Unspoken hatred

I could love again

If you could meet me 

In the middle

LAST SEPTEMBER

 I remember

The nights spent together

Doing whatever

And now that it's over

I cannot regret

I cannot forget

Last September

EVERY NIGHT

 Every night I dream and pray

I call your name to come my way

These visions are oh so bad

I don't know whether to rage or be sad

But you don't come and I know why

My hope in you is the last to die

MOONLIGHT

When you looked at me in the moonlight and said

God, you wish you were in my bed

I would lay you down so gently

Grasp your body so madly

Tomorrow we will end so slowly

But today we'll have our ecstasy 

CERTAIN

 As certain as the sun

At the end of the day will set

I will be by your side

When the day ends

You are the sweetest thing

To hold you is everything 

To have you is something

To have this feeling

As certain as the sun

Will set in the west

I will be holding your hand

I know you are the best

APOLOGY

 It's too late, you said

When I tried to apologize

It's too late in your heart and mind

I think you're being difficult

You think I am being the same

The tears start falling from my eyes

Knowing you will never say my name again

DANIEL

Daniel, we've been through this before

The yelling, the screaming

The slamming of doors

From you, I want so much more

The holding, the loving

Just like before

Daniel, can't you feel my love

Past the moments we get mad

When we shove

I am tired of calling your bluff

The crying, the tearing

Hand in glove
